SSVC-4/6 connector installation

a. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole on the removable connector plug.

b. Use a small flathead screwdriver to tighten each wire in place.

c. Insert the connector plug into the socket and lock in place by tightening captive screws on each side of connector. See (Figure 4).

The inputs of the SSVC-2/4/6 are the connector terminals labeled “AMPLIFIER”. The outputs are the connector terminals labeled “SPEAKERS”. Be sure not to reverse these connections or the SSVC-2/4/6 will not function properly.

5.Locate the pre-printed Room Labels. Affix the appropriate label to the recessed area next to the knob on the SSVC-2/4/6 .

Calculating the Impedance Magnification Setting

Use the following instructions to select the correct switch setting for the number and type of speakers in your system.

1.Count the number of pairs of speakers you are connecting to the system.

2.Set the Speaker Pairs switch on the rear panel of the SSVC-2/4/6 to match the number of pairs of speakers (1, 2, 3/4, 5/6).

“TECH TIP”

Wire size is

expressed by it's AWG (American Wire Gauge) number. The lower the AWG number, the larger the wire, i.e., 12 AWG wire is physically larger than 14 AWG.
